Chapter 5: The Plot Thickens
Frog entered Porre with Crono, and the two warriors immediately headed for the cafe. Crono wanted breakfast (and adamantly refused Frog's cooking) and Frog wanted some good strong coffee. The cafe offered both. The two sat down at the counter and immediately began to pour over the menu. Crono was about to order the biggest plate they had when there was a crackling sound from the center of town. Glancing over, it could only be one thing. A Gate was opening up due to the instability. ".........." Crono didn't say anything, but the expression on his face could only state he did not want to deal with another Gate right now.
The pale skinned, blue haired Dark Wizard slowly walked through Porre. He was hot. He was tired. He was cranky. Turning, he grumbled when he spotted the small figure in black hunting him down. ".......I have no time to play right now." Magus glared. Reiketsu poked her head out, one hand slowly reaching for Rune. She grabbed it's hilt, and tugged. But instead of coming out as it should, Rune stayed. "......." Rei yanked again to no avail. Magus smirked. "It appears your blade does not wish to fight me as you do." Magus said. His low, raspy voice sounded like dry autumn leaves. Rei grumbled. "Magus.. Someday.. So help me...." Rei glared up. She couldn't fight him. Not this time. She lacked weapons or magic. All she had was Rune. Rune was her best friend and ally... The only one she had. While Rune usually had a pretty good reason for the things it did, it also was quite skilled at pissing her off when things went unexplained.
Such as right now. Rei grumbled, lowering her hand from Rune's hilt, eying Magus the whole time. While she couldn't fight him now, now that she had found him, she was not about to lose track of him now. Rei dove into the underbrush and slunk after Magus as he walked through the forest. She couldn't give up now...
Magus entered Porre, well aware the girl was following him, but he paid her no mind. Instead, he stared at the gaping GATE in front of him. It just seemed to beckon people close enough to be pulled in. Unfortuanately, so did Reiketsu. Rei poked her head out of a bush, and looked at the dust that was slowly ebbing in. What's that...? Rei tilted her head to one side, snuck closer, and tried poking it with Rune. The Gate sucked Rune in like a vacuum. "..........." Rei growled then jumped at it, then yelped getting pulled in herself before anyone else could react.
Frog whirled when he heard the yelp, and nodded to Crono. The two rushed at the gate; almost running Magus over. Frog turned toward Magus breifly, glaring. "Curr! You knew what a Gate is! Why didst thee do naught!?" Frog snarled. Crono quirked an eyebrow. Granted, Frog usually didn't like Magus, but this was new. Magus simply drew his cape about him. "....There's more then one way to get rid of pests..." Magus said lowly. Frog just leered, then leaped into the Gate after Rei. Crono sighed, shrugged and followed. Magus looked thoughtful a minute when he saw that the Gate hadn't closed, like others he'd seen. This may prove to be worth... Looking into... The dark wizard thought to himself. Silently, he leapt into the Gate himself, unsure of what to expect.
